Closure of Strip Clubs in Imo State<\/strong><\/p>\n

In line with the sanitization programme of the Rescue Mission Agenda of the Imo state government, strip clubs in the state have been shut down with effect from October 31, 2012. One of the reasons for the closure is to wean the strayed generation back to God and rectitude.\u00a0 The other is because of their incalculable damage to morals, Igbo culture and human values.\u00a0 In the words of Governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha who gave the directive, the concept of strip clubs is not only devilish but alien to Igbo cultural life.<\/p>\n

Located in New Owerri and Works Layout areas of Owerri Metropolis, strip clubs are the secret nests of night crawlers and voyeurs who derive immense sexual satisfaction by seeing sex organs of stray ladies as they dance and at times engage in mild acrobatic displays. Governor Okorocha\u2019s displeasure was further incurred by the fact that these sociopaths divest themselves of their clothings one after the other until they became nude before their numerous male spectators who are spiritually in the same evolutionary level with wild animals.\u00a0 The obscenity is a common feature in celebrated night clubs inLagos,AbujaandPort Harcourtwhere nude clubs and their dance of shame dominate the night outings of social perverts.<\/p>\n

This mad obsession for wealth by ladies of easy virtue has led to young ladies of our times to make love to dogs for money they may not even be alive to enjoy.\u00a0 Others in the same class conceal narcotics in their private parts just to belong to the wealthy class over night.\u00a0 Regrettably, all the lower animals such as bitch, sheep and goat have continued to maintain their spheres of mating except godless human beings who consistently invade their breeding territories. These animals hardly stray into the sex territory of the other even when starved of a female companion for a long time.<\/p>\n

Could this sickening past time by professional voyeurs with demented minds also pass for recreation among these urban animal elites?<\/p>\n

Nude dance by whores in disguise is an infection of urbanization and godliness.\u00a0 Are they not aware that this extreme sexual pliancy and the preference of the empirical to the transcendental symbolize flagrant abuse of divine mandate?<\/p>\n

It pains that the generational young ladies have indulged in things hitherto unimaginable for beauty and beautification.\u00a0 In the urban centers where they operate without family or group constraints, they spin this way or that way in violation of natural and divine laws to make it on this earth.\u00a0 They think less about their last resort, the spiritual world with its abstract value systems.<\/p>\n

Somehow, the society is being rewarded by the laws of cause and effect for its recalcitrancy and obduracy.\u00a0 Within the pre-independence era characterized by closer family units than what we see today, the acquisition of wealth did not violate family norms.\u00a0 Individuals dread getting rich overnight and occasionally, security operatives were alerted to nip in the bud the chances of any of their members tarnishing the group image.<\/p>\n

Urbanization remains the main architect of today\u2019s degeneracy in morals.\u00a0 People of different ethic backgrounds are thrown together in the same environment where socialization completes the damage, breeding human robots.\u00a0 Loose parental control and child upbringing must be given another hard look and if possible taught in schools.<\/p>\n

As strip clubs within the state lose their license to operate, state government should disallow in its entirety the importation and marketing of blue films.\u00a0 Unlike strip clubs, the viewers include children of all ages while they are marketed in every nook and cranny of the state.<\/p>\n

LETTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sir,<\/strong><\/p>\n

HRH or HRM?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Te chairman, Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers, Eze Imo, HRH Eze Samuel Ohiri should please clarify for public consumption who among the traditional rulers is entitled to append either HRH or HRM to his name\u00a0 and why?<\/p>\n

Historically, Igbos are core republicans to the extent that the institution of traditional rulership is not culturally acceptable in some Igbo communities.<\/p>\n

It sounds unbelievable that the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero goes by HRH and not HRM.\u00a0 It becomes more baffling when one realizes that the landmass of the Emir of Kano\u2019s kingdom is greater than that of Imo state and yet he is addressed as HRH, Alhaji Ado Bayero.\u00a0 Eze Imo should also explain to Imolites the suitability culturally of Moslems being traditional rulers in Igbo ethnic homeland?\u00a0 Does a Moslem fit in as an Eze since the traditional rulers are the custodians of the peoples\u2019 culture and tradition?<\/p>\n

Do you think, Your Royal Highness that a Christian can become either an Oba or Emir in a predominant Muslim community in the Western or Northern parts ofNigeria?<\/p>\n

Sir,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Free Education for Police Dog School?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an ardent lover of pets, each time I drove past the Dog Section of the Nigeria Police close to Mbaise Police headquarters in Owerri, my heart melts with indescribable joy not easily imagined.<\/p>\n

Police lecturers usually liter the sprawling premises doing one thing or the other.\u00a0 Others lounge around under tree shades whiling away time.<\/p>\n

These days, I no longer see them outside.\u00a0 When I wondered aloud, a friend speculated that the lecturers are busier now because the new academic year has just begun.\u00a0 Another by his side hinted that admission of new dogs is in progress. The latter information heightened my curiosity which is why this letter is being written.<\/p>\n

Is the admission of new students still on?\u00a0 If it is, how long will it last?\u00a0 Are there any arrangement to accommodate off campus student-dogs?<\/p>\n

Please, Mr dog principal, communicate this information to the public as dog-lovers are anxious to expose their pets to training by experts in your school.<\/p>\n

Is there any increase in fees?\u00a0 Or better does the compulsory free education policy of the Rescue Mission administration cover the student dogs too?\u00a0 Someone suggested this last week in a public lecture on the free education policy of the Imo state government.<\/p>\n
